Paradox Ends Active Support for 4X ‘Millennia’ With Final Patch

Eighteen months after launch, the Civ-like concludes updates following a mixed reception.

Overview

  • Paradox said update eight is the final patch for Millennia and it will no longer be active on the game’s community platforms, though the title remains available and customer support continues.
  • The patch focuses on bugfixes and localization updates, and expands mod support, including custom Age Paintings and more reliable behavior for modded Action Cards when loading saves.
  • Specific fixes include deployed units regaining movement between turns and third‑party units being correctly ejected when a region is conquered.
  • Developed by C Prompt Games and published by Paradox, Millennia received two paid expansions—Ancient Worlds and Atomic Ambitions—without lifting Steam user ratings beyond the “mixed” range.
  • Following the end‑of‑support announcement, recent Steam reviews turned more negative, reflecting long‑standing complaints about UI, AI, and core systems despite praise for some design ideas.
